-No, I did not meet Dennis Quaid.
-Yes, I did meet Rob Brown (the other lead of the movie).
-No, we aren't best pals, but he is a nice, easy, likable guy who isn't shy about joking around with one of the extras. I'm not making it out to be a big thing. He was joking around with some friends of his and I happened to be there and I laughed along with him. Not a big deal.
-I had a blast being on the movie set, though.
-I met some pretty nice guys, including veteran extras and some "photo double".
-Most of my stuff was 2nd unit stuff, centered around the 1960 Cotton Bowl. So, when the movie releases in 2009, you can look for me in there. (Sort of.)
-I am going to try to be back on the set for Tuesday and Thursday of next week.
-The Worst Part of the day was getting up at 3:30 in the morning to make my 5AM call. I was literally thinking about "no calling, no showing" and just bagging on any future extras work, at all. I drug my ass to Evanston though, and I am so, so, so glad that I did.
-The Best Part was getting bumped up to a much better gig and watching a professional film crew work on a major Hollywood film, all day long. Getting some screen time would just be a nice bonus. (As will the medium-sized paycheck that the gig gave me.)
Anyways, it was a really great experience. But to get it all, from the tedious details to the really glorious stuff, I'll need some time to assemble a proper blog entry. I've already found several images that I want to include in it. I need a few more and I'll be ready to get it all down.
In the meantime, look at this!
That's the first released image of Heath Ledger as "The Joker" in the upcoming sequel to "Batman Begins". Harry Knowles called it "one of those Gacey paintings come to life" and I agree. The scar tissue is creepy as Hell. I much prefer this interpretation of "the Clown Prince of Crime" to the previous ones. I think Nolan and crew are on the right track with this one.
Heck, I might get to see that thing in action, some time soon.
More info to come, I am sure.
Cheers,
COB

People scoffed about Mr. Ledger playing Joker. But they will scoff no longer. He's going to be scary as hell. And the sexiest scary ever.
Cool pic Bids!
If you bump into Heath again, tell him he can add one more adoring fan to his ever long list of women to partake in. Hes on my allowed, but never gonna happen, "celebrity" list.
